“huckleberry lost 90% of the Republicans with his CLOSE GITMO promise.”
You think so? So if Huckabee is sincere about closing Guantanamo, you’ll vote for Hillary in 08? This I’ve gotta see.
Huckabee is a fantastic politician (and without the benefit of millions of dollars for polling to see what he “should” be saying.) The real issue regarding Gitmo is not whether we detain at Gitmo or not, but whether he means that we should return to the Clinton-era policy of criminalizing terrorism, which was a disaster.
Until someone asks him that (and he WILL tell us if he’s asked) all the “close Gitmo” comment does is carve out more of the center’s votes for himself. And even some of Hillary’s if she tries to straddle the fence on the issue when she’s asked (which is probably a given....has she been asked?)
He will not be the nominee... it’s a pipe dream only.

Huck is not a fiscal conservative, he is a tax-and-spend populist.
If Huck wants to close GITMO he's a wimp on the war-on-terror.
Sure, I'll vote for Huck over Hillary, but Huck is lining up to be perhaps our worst possible nominee, maybe worse than Rudy even.
“Until someone asks him that (and he WILL tell us if he’s asked) all the “close Gitmo” comment does is carve out more of the center’s votes for himself.”
Yes, Huck is moving to the ‘center’. It’s called the RINO shuffle. Egads, another McCainiac.
Not wanting to ‘punish’ illegal alien kids.
Cap-and-trade CO2.
More pork for ethanol.
Banning smoking.
Over-fund SCHIP the Pelosi way.
And close GITMO and apologize to the world for being a meanie to the poor widdle terrorists.
so, other than maybe a conservative USSC Justice and not letting Bill terrorize the interns, what exactly will Huckabee do differently from Hillary?
